max_user_connections exceded - external connections

After running several queries through MySql workbench via ssh, both my web app and workbench stopped working and threw errors indicating max_user_connections exceeded. I closed mysql workbench and waited more than 5 minutes and restarted my web app. None of these worked. My app is still down. How can I kill all hung up database connections?

The quickest way to close all connections would be to reload your website (like you did) and also to kill all processes from the tables at the bottom of the "Consoles" and "Tasks" pages inside PythonAnywhere.
